"People keep shooting down the Ferris wheel. Have none of you been
to London? The Eye is awesome and a great way to see the city and its
surroundings. I would need to see the type of Ferris wheel they are
thinking about before I pass judgment. A real WOW attraction would
allow you to shoot water balloons across the Wolf River at City Hall.
Maybe the world's biggest sling shot?" — urbanut

"I do hope the university will consider a change at the helm after
this season. Maybe they could replace Tommy with, I don't know, maybe a
John Madden football game. Get some 14-year-old kid up in the press box
with a PlayStation to call the plays." — jeff

About "Memphis Goes National," by John Branston:

Cohen may be a goofball, but people who are seriously considering
putting a divisive megalomaniac like Herenton in Congress are
masochists plain and simple." — wvfii

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell is a requirement that you lie. That is wrong,
and it certainly violates any code of honor. ... It's all just wrong,
and I am deeply disappointed in Barack for not doing more to stop it
now." — dayle

Comment of the Week:

About "On the Scene at the Pink Palace Crafts Fair," by Susan
Ellis:

"The remnants of the chicken on a stick are a visualmetaphor for a great weekend of sex, deep-fried and satisfied. As

political section." — fuzdog
